Bobby joined Bad Religion in April 1991 after previous drummer, Peter Finestone, left the band after their fifth LP, "Against the Grain". He was present on their sixth LP, "Generator", in 1992. He also played drums on "Recipe For Hate" (1993), "Stranger Than Fiction" (1994), "The Gray Race" (1996), "Tested" (1997), "No Substance" (1998), and "The New America" in 2000. In 2001 he suffered an injury to his shoulder, leaving him unable to drum professionally. Schayer was replaced by Brooks Wackerman, ex of The Vandals, Suicidal Tendencies & Bad 4 Good. However, he was thanked in the booklet of the band's next album, "The Process of Belief" (2002). Bobby Schayer now lives and divides his time between New York City and London, U.K. He works as a music teacher and drum technician.
